Abstract

A gauge theory of supergravity which allows one to obtain first-order Lagrangians that are locally gauge invariant by construction is presented. The formalism makes use of supertwistors as a representation space for the construction of a typical fiber of a vector bundle associated with a principal bundle, where the structural group is the super-Poincaré group. The approach proposed provides a means of resolving one of the central problems of gauge field theories of external symmetry groups, that is the satisfactory treatment of translations.
